In my conversation with Robert Wawoe, we dive deep into how AI enhances business operations, but only when paired with clear human judgment.

AI can amplify your capabilities, but if your processes are messy, it will only create faster confusion. So, clarity is key!

The real lesson? Understand where AI fits in your business model before rushing in.

What if the biggest danger isn’t a villain in a title, but someone unseen, wielding power through dependence, perception, and emotional intimacy?In this eye-opening episode, we dissect Rasputin’s rise from Siberian peasant to the kingmaker of Imperial Russia because he mastered a dangerous kind of influence.

You’ll discover how his charismatic manipulation, fueled by authentic regret and spiritual authority, created a toxic environment that undid an empire.

I speak with Hector Villasenor. He shares insights on the intersection of AI and human-centered leadership.

While tech evolves fast, remember:

- We’re working with people who have emotions, backgrounds, and stories.

- A simple "How are you today?" can foster a safe workplace.

- Leaders must understand AI but not let it dictate how they lead.

It’s time to blend technology with compassion. What’s your experience with this balance?

Enjoy!

Confidence is essential for leadership, but unchecked confidence can quietly become ego, blind spots, and relational damage. This episode slows down the moment where confidence tips from asset to liability and invites leaders to examine where that might be happening in their own behavior.

Our sincere apologies for the sound echoing here and there. It was our first time recording in person and we will improve this in the next podcasts together.

You walk into the meeting and before you say a word, something in you starts adjusting. Your voice changes. Your face changes. You reach for certainty faster than you actually feel it. You're not lying. You're performing the version of leadership you were taught gets rewarded.

In this solo episode, Leili unpacks the gap between the leader you've learned to perform and the leader you actually know how to be. Drawing on her doctoral research on executive hubris, her own years leading from anxiety in corporate environments, and real client stories (including the executive repeatedly asked to take notes in her own meetings), she breaks down where the performance comes from, what it quietly costs you and your team, and the practical shift that closes the gap.

You'll learn:

• Why "confidence" is often compliance with a cultural script, and how to tell the difference
• How performative leadership breaks trust through repetition, not one big failure
• Power over vs. power with, and why one of them leaves your whole team exhausted
• The question to ask instead of "Do I look like a leader right now?"

This one gets personal. Leili names the double standards that make authenticity harder for some leaders than others, and why this conversation has to hold both the system and the self.

Choose conscious over ego. Humanity over power.

Jacob and Leili met through Moonshot, where EX3D took third place. In this conversation, he walks through the real version of starting a business, not the polished one. He talks about the Etsy store that sparked the idea, the five business models his team cycled through before finding direction, and the months they spent stuck trying to figure out what they were actually selling. He also shares how he used AI tools like Base44 and Claude to build the website and connect the systems his team could not code on their own, and why he sees AI as a time multiplier rather than something to fear.

They get into the harder parts too. Jacob opens up about a 3D printing journalist who publicly doubted the business would ever scale, and how he learned to set that aside, keep building, and make peace with the possibility of failure. From there the conversation turns to leadership. Jacob describes catching his own control freak tendencies, then stepping back to give his team real ownership, and why servant leadership turned out to be the right fit for a company sitting between two different audiences.

If you are thinking about starting something of your own, Jacob's advice is worth the listen: do not start a company to make money. Start by finding a real problem and asking whether you are the right person to solve it.

Drawing on research and lived leadership tensions, she breaks down the “authenticity paradox”: why clinging to a fixed idea of “this is just who I am” can block growth, damage relationships, and quietly erode trust. Through concrete examples of leaders who are “too nice” to give feedback and leaders who hide harshness behind “brutal honesty,” Leili illustrates how good values (like connection, candor, or excellence) can turn into harm when they’re left unbalanced.

This conversation invites listeners to see authenticity not as unfiltered self-expression, but as alignment between values, behavior, and impact. You’ll walk away with language and frameworks to examine your own core values, spot where they can tip into their shadow side, and design a more honest, humble, and human way of leading. In short, this episode is for any leader who wants to be real and responsible—anchored in who they are, while still kind, open, and willing to grow.

In this solo episode, Dr. Leili Sadaghiani makes the case that the self-doubt and anxiety high-performing women carry in male-dominated industries isn't imposter syndrome to be fixed. It's a rational signal about the system you're operating in.

She walks through four patterns where executives blame themselves for internal doubt, and where the real issue is almost always structural: role clarity gaps, values-and-culture mismatch, scale-at-all-costs norms, and invisible labor. Then she gives you the five-step practice she uses with her coaching clients to read the signal, map it to the actual gap, and decide how to lead inside the reality you're actually in.

This episode is for directors, senior managers, and VPs who have the resume and the receipts and are still quietly wondering if they're missing something. You're not. You're picking up data your organization isn't honest enough to name yet.

This is not a confidence problem. It is a pattern. And it is one of the most quietly costly dynamics in leadership today.

In this episode, Dr. Leili Sadaghiani breaks down external validation -- where it actually comes from, why it develops in the most capable leaders, and what it is costing you in clarity, decisiveness, and organizational impact. Drawing on eight research sources including Harvard Business Review and McKinsey, Leili covers the structural forces that amplify this pattern for women, the compounding effect of gendered ageism across every career stage, and five evidence-based practices for rebuilding internal authority without losing the awareness that makes you effective.

Topics covered:

• Why external validation is a logical response to inconsistent workplaces -- not a personal flaw
• The hidden cost: eroded decisiveness, reactive thinking, and the direction your team is not getting
• Role incongruity bias, double-bind dynamics, and why the most adaptive leaders are often the most dependent on external signals
• Why there is no right age to be a woman in a leadership role -- and how that feeds the pattern across an entire career
• Five practices: form your view first, evaluate rather than accept feedback, build a strengths record, communicate more simply, keep promises to yourself
• The question shift that moves you from self-monitoring to leadership

In this episode, Alex and Dr. Leili Sadaghiani talk about why excellent corporate performance can quietly cost you your health, what the Egoscue Method actually does, and the moment an 87-year-old client told him she could not find 15 minutes a day for herself.

Alex shares the car accident that shaped the next two decades of his body, the first session that took his pain from a 7 to a 5 in an hour, the spinal fusion he chose not to have at 30, and the leadership lesson he is now teaching his son in little league baseball: lead by example, and the rest follows.

If you are leading at a level that is taking more than it gives, this conversation is worth 36 minutes.

Join Leili Sedagiani and co-host Max Bergstrom as they explore the "In Vivo" perspective on AI integration in 2026. Moving beyond the technical "plumbing," this episode focuses on the human side of automation, specifically how high-integrity leadership is required to prevent "Automated Resentment" within a workforce.

Key Discussion Points:

• The Death of the Micromanager: How AI is forcing a crisis of identity for middle management and why the shift to "Moral Processing" is the solution.

  
  

• Breaking Sponsorship Theater: Why leaders need to be in the trenches, leading on ethical guardrails rather than just buying the tools.

  
  

• The Human Premium: Why high emotional intelligence (EQ) is your most valuable asset in an age of automation.

  
  

• The "Mirror Test": A critical self-assessment for every leader in the age of AI.

  Stop the "Sponsorship Theater" and start leading. Direct your team to the Executive Sponsorship Accelerator at invivoleadershipstrategies.com.

In this conversation, Maryam and Dr. Leili Sadaghiani talk about what corporate HR gets wrong, why AI will never replace the human side of people work, and the practical interview approach that has changed how she evaluates culture fit. She also gets candid about the harder reality of being a woman in corporate leadership, why women need to advocate for themselves louder than they think they should, and the difference between mentorship and sponsorship when you are trying to grow a career.

This episode is for anyone leading people, building a team, or rethinking how their organization actually treats the humans inside it.

─────────────────WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Why HR is no longer just admin work, and what people strategy actually looks like now
• What AI can and cannot do inside HR processes
• How to interview for culture fit using a casual, coffee-first approach
• The role of organization development in blending psychology and business strategy
• How feedback Fridays create the conditions for real growth
• The difference between mentorship and sponsorship, and why women need both

So why do women hold fewer than 10% of Fortune 500 CEO positions?

In this episode, Dr. Leili Sadaghiani breaks down the gender leadership gap through the lens of decades of organizational research — and makes the case that this is not a talent problem, a confidence problem, or a motivation problem. It is an organizational architecture problem. And it is costing companies measurable performance.

Dr. Sadaghiani walks through the frameworks researchers use to explain how the gap operates — the glass ceiling, the glass escalator, and the labyrinth — and identifies the three root causes every HR and OCM leader needs to understand before designing a response: human capital differences, evaluation bias, and the implicit stereotypes that define who gets perceived as leadership material.

She also names the double bind that makes the gap so hard to close: women are expected to be communal because of gender stereotypes, and expected to be agentic because leadership demands it. Both sets of expectations penalize them.

This is not a DEI conversation. It is a talent strategy conversation.

If you are a CHRO, VP of People Operations, or leading organizational change in life sciences, healthcare, or aerospace, this episode gives you the diagnostic framework and the five structural interventions that actually move numbers.

Topics covered:

• The glass ceiling, glass escalator, and labyrinth frameworks
• Three research-based root causes of the gender leadership gap
• Why your performance evaluation system is never neutral
• The difference between mentorship and sponsorship — and why it matters
• Five evidence-based interventions that produce results

Let’s talk about building better teams, fixing what’s broken, and seeing AI as an ally—not an enemy.

Leili unpacks how "I do hard work" quietly becomes "I am a hard worker" — fusing your worth to your output and making rest feel like failure. She walks through the neuroscience of why depleted leaders produce the lowest-leverage work, the real cost to your body, relationships, and self-trust, and the leadership shadow a dysregulated leader casts on their team.

You'll hear three behavioral anchors for sustainable leadership: building capacity instead of just output, making decisions from a regulated nervous system, and saying no to anything that doesn't build toward what you actually want. Plus a client story about an over-functioning executive who got sharper by subtracting — and an invitation to stop doing one thing this week that keeps you looking committed but is actually keeping you fragmented.

For the women leading in high-stakes environments who are ready to trade performative devotion for real, sustainable strength.

Then came the iPhone. And in five years, BlackBerry went from category dominance to 0.2% global market share.

In this episode, Dr. Leili Sadaghiani does a full case analysis of the rise and fall of BlackBerry -- not as a technology story, but as a leadership story. She walks through the founding integrity that made BlackBerry great, the moment the iPhone changed everything (and what RIM's co-CEOs said privately versus publicly), the cascade of strategic failures that followed, and the five lessons every leader needs to take from this collapse.

Topics covered:

• Why the gap between private truth and public communication is where organizational collapse begins
• The three assumptions BlackBerry never challenged -- and how each was invalidated by the market
• Innovation theater versus innovation integrity -- and what the BlackBerry Storm reveals about building from fear
• The anonymous 2011 employee letter that exposed the culture breakdown from the inside
• The BBM cross-platform decision that RIM passed on -- and why WhatsApp sold for $19 billion
• Five leadership lessons: integrity means loyalty to reality, dominance distorts feedback, and platforms beat products

Chris shares how a teaching career shaped the way he approached every client, why he could assess a medical office in 15 seconds, and how a $12,000 account quietly grew into a $350,000 relationship — all because he told the truth.

They also dig into a harder conversation: how the healthcare industry lost something when doctors stepped out of the boardroom, what happens when greed overtakes empathy in any organization, and why Chris ultimately walked away from a career he loved.

Packed with straight talk, real-world wisdom, and a few laughs along the way — this one's for anyone navigating a system that feels bigger than the people inside it.

In this episode of Integrity Over Scale, host Layli Sani and co-host Max dive deep into the Adoption Paradox. They discuss why brilliant leaders—armed with high IQs and technical brilliance—constantly fall into the trap of prioritizing the scale of a project over the integrity of the human experience.

In this episode, we explore:

• The AI ROI Gap: Why 8 in 10 companies aren't seeing returns on tech investments (and the New York Times study that proves it).

• The "I Don't Know" Advantage: Why vulnerability in leadership actually speeds up adoption instead of stalling it.

• The Integrity Tax: What it costs you to do things the right way (Hint: It’s called patience).

• The PowerPoint Trap: Why your 50-slide deck is actually a barrier to real connection.

Stop building binders and start building belief. It’s time to move from directive mandates to human-centered transformation.

In this episode of Integrity Over Scale, Lely and interim host Max break down why the earliest hours of a transformation initiative determine whether change will succeed—or quietly fail. Drawing from leadership consulting experience and research from Harvard Business School, they explore why many organizations focus too much on strategy decks and messaging while overlooking the behaviors that actually drive adoption.

You’ll learn why transformation isn’t just a project management exercise—it’s a behavioral integrity challenge.

Inside this episode:

• Why the first 90 hours matter more than the first 90 days

• The difference between messaging leadership and protecting leadership

• How middle managers determine whether a transformation actually happens

• How to identify the “quiet resistors”—high performers who disengage silently

• The three phases every sponsor should follow: Visibility (0–30 hours), Diagnosis (31–60 hours), and Protection (61–90 hours)

• Practical ways leaders can support managers and build trust during major change

Lely also shares the Monday Morning 3-Point Checklist leaders can use immediately to guide their first week as a transformation sponsor:

1. Show up where the work actually happens

2. Protect the managers carrying the change

3. Watch for quiet resistance before it becomes disengagement

If you’re leading a new rollout, merger, AI implementation, or major organizational shift, this episode will help you avoid the common traps that derail change before it even begins.

Because the truth is simple:
Transformation doesn’t start with strategy—it starts with behavior.

Stephanie Fryar, Director of Sleep Apnea Options, joins Dr. Leili Sadaghiani of InVivo Leadership Strategies to talk about what it really takes to build a team from scratch — and lead it with humanity.

• How she built genuine trust with the practice owner — and how that dynamic transformed her voice in her personal life, too
